Faculty Remarks:
Julie, I still marvel when I think about your poems from our workshop, their chill, their clarity, and the historical pain they are unafraid to address. You have a unique gift, to turn historical pain into intellectual music. Your more recent work, inspired by John Donne, bespeaks your love of words, and your really rather fearless commitment to drawing on the riches of the poetic past. Wonderful work! – Joe Donahue
